Safety

Non-burning, low-gas carbonization under direct flame.

NEOMA™ Foam simply chars under direct flame, without spreading combustion and with only small-quantity, HCN-free gas generation.

Combustion gas analysis

NEOMA™ Foam generates less CO and CO2 than other foams, and no HCN.

Carbon monoxide

Carbon dioxide

Hydrogen cyanide*

*HCN; highly toxic colorless gas with faint almond-like odor; prevents cellular respiration; lethal dose approx. 0.06 g; used in production of synthetic products and pesticides.
